Prathya is an online ecosystem of support for persons affected by OGBV in Sri Lanka developed by the organizations Hashtag Generation and Delete Nothing and was launched in October 2022.
Given the prevalence of online gender-based violence (OGBV) in Sri Lanka, Hashtag Generation and Delete Nothing recently launched an ecosystem named “Prathya”, through which trilingual support services will be provided for people, specifically women, girls, and trans and queer people affected by online violence. This ecosystem is made up of several elements, one of which is a trilingual hotline 0777955900, which is dedicated to providing technical support as well as referrals to legal aid and psychosocial support networks. “Prathya” will also document experience via the Delete Nothing trilingual documentation tool, which will systematically document and record the experiences and testimony of persons affected by online violence across Sri Lanka. There is also a trilingual online and offline outreach and dissemination campaign to raise awareness on the issue of online violence. Delete Nothing and Hashtag Generation also plan to disseminate research findings and evidence-based advocacy recommendations to policymakers and other relevant stakeholders.
